Chapter Forty-Eight: Zhongzhou Fengjia Wanbao Pavilion
In the alchemy of the Holy Gold Academy.
Situ Kong looked at Duanmu Xi, who was still working hard to refine the medicine, and nodded with satisfaction, the more he looked at this precious apprentice, the more he liked it, he was beautiful, talented, and very diligent, and he had already refined the Yellow Rank First Rank Pill into a top-grade pill in just three days, and it seemed that he would be able to refine the Yellow Rank Second Grade Pill tomorrow. That's faster than when he first learned to refine medicine.
"Girl, let's rest after refining this time." It's been three days and three nights since she closed her eyes, and this girl's desperate strength is really similar to when he was young.
"Okay." Duanmuxi packed the medicine and showed a satisfied look on his face. This time it was top-grade again, she was now more and more proficient in refining medicine, whether it was refining or fusing her, she was much more proficient, and now she was refining the Clear Silence Dew four or five times faster than that test.
"Girl, I'll take you to your place."
Situ Kong took Duanmuxi to a chic courtyard.
"This is where the old boy from Narancy gave me to live, girl, take a look, do you still like it?"
Duanmuxi liked this place at first sight, not for anything else, but for the wisteria on the flower stand in the middle of the yard. The wisteria flowers bloom beautifully, and the bunches hang down under the flower stands, looking like a purple waterfall from a distance, so beautiful! It's so beautiful!
Situ Kong saw that she had been staring at wisteria, knowing that she liked it, and sure enough, women like flowers, this girl finally has a little bit of what she should look like at her age, "This wisteria is also a kind of medicinal material, in addition to wisteria, there are many medicinal materials in the yard, you can get to know it when you have time." ”
Duanmuxi nodded, walked around the courtyard, and saw that the flower beds in the courtyard were not planted with flowers, nor vegetables, but with some rare medicinal materials, which was worthy of the place where the alchemist lived.
"Girl, the one on the north side of the courtyard is for the teacher, the first one on the west side is a pharmacy, and there are four empty rooms, you can choose one to live in. There is no kitchen here, so you have to eat in the college cafeteria or in a restaurant outside the college. "It is difficult for him to get this Shengjin Academy, and he rarely lives in this small courtyard, and now that he has this good apprentice, it seems that he has to stay in this small courtyard often.
"Master, can Feng Wu live here?" She hadn't seen Feng Wu for three days, and let her stay in the inn all the time, she definitely didn't worry about herself.
"Of course, the girl can let whoever she likes to live."
"Master Xie."
......
Half a month later, in the city of Zhongzhou.
Duanmu Xi took Feng Wu to Yunlai Inn for dinner, and the innkeeper was very happy to see the two of them, and while letting Xiao Er serve wine and food, he said with a smile: "Congratulations to the girl for becoming a student of Shengjin Academy." ”
Duanmu Xi looked at the innkeeper and nodded, but did not answer.
Feng Wu pouted, the innkeeper was still as enthusiastic as ever.
"Two girls, are you here to participate in the auction of Wanbao Pavilion today?"
"Auction?" There is also an auction in this Hantian Continent? I just wonder how the auctions here are different from modern ones?
Seeing that Duanmu Xi finally answered, the innkeeper introduced more enthusiastically: "Yes, there will be an auction in Wanbao Pavilion this afternoon, and the two girls can go and have a look if they have nothing to do, I heard that there will be a treasure auction today." ”
Treasure? What kind of treasure will it be?
"The two girls have all the dishes, please use it slowly." The innkeeper saw Xiao Er bring the dishes over, and said while helping Xiao Er set up the dishes.
"Your Highness, Elder Situ is not here today, let's go to the auction after dinner, maybe there are medicinal materials we need or something." Feng Wu was still very interested in this auction, she had always been Duanmu Xue's Feng Wei, and she had no chance to participate in these at all.
"Okay." She also wanted to see what kind of treasures there were. The master left, and before leaving, he said a word to her.
"Girl, the teacher has taught everything, as the saying goes, the master leads the door, the cultivation depends on the individual, and it will depend on your own in the future."
After the two finished eating, they came to the auction hall of Wanbao Pavilion.
Located in the most prosperous center of Zhongzhou City, Wanbao Pavilion is a three-storey building. The three big characters of "Wanbao Pavilion" above the hall are vigorous and powerful, which shows the cultivation of the person who writes is profound. When Duanmuxi arrived at Wanbao Pavilion, the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion was already crowded.
Seeing so many people at the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion, Duanmu Xi frowned slightly, looked around and found that there was a more magnificent entrance on the left side of the gate, and only a few gorgeously dressed people entered at that entrance. Duanmuxi looked up at the plaque at the entrance, only to see that it was written "VIP Entrance" in golden light.
"Your Highness, my subordinates just heard that this Wanbao Pavilion belongs to the Feng family, the head of the four major families in Zhongzhou City." Feng Wu squeezed through the crowd, came to Duanmuxi's side, and reported the news he heard to Duanmuxi.
"Four families?"
"Yes, legend has it that hundreds of years ago, the lords of the four kingdoms wanted to annex Zhongzhou in order to achieve the goal of dominating the world. It's just that the terrain of Zhongzhou is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the four countries do not trust each other and resist each other, so they have not succeeded. Later, the lords of the four countries also lost their intention to annex and acquiesced to the existence of Zhongzhou. It's just that in order to prevent Zhongzhou from becoming dominant, the lords of the four countries have sent their trusted retainers to Zhongzhou City to monitor the city lords of Zhongzhou City, and the four major families of Zhongzhou: the Feng family, the Hua family, the Xue family, and the Yue family are from this. ”
"Then which one is said to have been sent by our Suzaku Country?" This legend is quite interesting, I didn't expect that their Vermilion Bird Country still has a stronghold in this Zhongzhou City, but I don't know if the legend is true.
"The Hua family, I heard that the previous heads of the Hua family were also women."
"Oh? Then the legend is kind of true. "The Hua family is also respected by women, so it is very likely that she came out of the Vermilion Bird Country, and she would like to enter this Hua family if she has the opportunity.
Feng Wu nodded, she also felt that the legend was very likely to be true, after all, among the four countries, only the Vermilion Bird Country was honored by women.
"Let's go, let's go to the auction first." The two followed the flow of people into the Wanbao Pavilion auction.
Duanmu Xi and Feng Wu came to the auction venue, and the venue was already crowded with people at this time.
Duanmuxi frowned, there were too many people, she didn't like it, and looked up at the room on the second floor, the second floor should be a box.
"Let's go to the back."
The two of them came to the back of the Wanbao Pavilion, and the back was obviously much quieter than the front. As soon as he took two steps, a maid stepped forward and asked, "Two guests, is there anything I can do for you?" ”
Duanmuxi looked up and saw a sweet-looking girl, "I want to book a private room." ”
The maid saw Duanmuxi's appearance clearly, and was a little stunned, there was such a pure and refined woman in the world......
"Cough, cough...... "Your Highness is so beautiful that even women will fall for it, don't say that this little maid, it is her, she follows His Highness every day, and sometimes she will look at her.
Feng Wu's light cough smoothly brought back the maid's senses, and the maid gathered her mind and showed an apologetic smile at Duanmu Xi, "This guest, I'm sorry, the box on the second floor has been fully booked two days ago. ”
...... I booked it two days ago, so don't be so exaggerated. After Feng Wu was surprised, he quickly reacted and asked, "The box on the second floor is booked, and the box on the third floor should not be booked." ”
The maid shook her head, Feng Wu was overjoyed, and just wanted to say that she would book a box on the third floor, but she heard the little maid say again: "There is indeed an empty box on the third floor, do the two guests have VIP cards?" ”
What do you mean?
Seeing the puzzled looks of the two, the maid explained: "That's right, the third floor is the VIP area of our Wanbao Pavilion, and only guests with VIP cards can go to the VIP area on the third floor. ”
...... Both of them were a little speechless.
"Two guests, is there anything else you can do for you? For example, do you need to auction any items? The maid asked, still smiling sweetly.
Auction items? She hadn't thought about it, but since she had come to this auction, she would take out the pills she had refined two days ago and auction them, and she would also like to know how much these pills she had refined were worth.
Duanmu Xi nodded to the maid.
The maid immediately said respectfully, "Two guests, please come with the servants." ”
The maid led the two of them to a room, and then retreated.
Duanmuxi looked up and saw that the door was written with three big words "Treasure Appreciation Room", and the two pushed the door in, only to see an old man in black fiddling with the objects on the table.
Feeling that someone had entered, the old man in black didn't raise his head, and said directly: "Put the items that need to be identified on the table." ”
Feng Wu was a little annoyed by the old man's unreasonableness, and wanted to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by Duanmuxi.
Duanmuxi directly took out the hemostatic powder that he had refined a few days ago, returned it to his heart, returned it to the divine pill, put it on the table, did not speak, and stood quietly aside.
The old man in black casually opened the first jade bottle, put it under his nose and smelled it, then his eyes widened, with an incredible expression, and then quickly opened several other jade bottles and smelled them one by one, and said excitedly: "Are these to be auctioned?" ”
"Yes."
With such a young voice, the old man in black finally looked up at Duanmu Xi.
"You refined all these pills?"
Duanmuxi was a little stunned, she didn't expect the old man in black to ask this, but Duanmuxi, who came back to her senses, still nodded slightly, she was not good at lying, and she didn't like to lie.
The old man in black was shocked, he didn't expect that these top-grade pills were all refined by this stunning girl in front of him, and a girl of this age was already an alchemist. Alchemist, the most noble profession in the Hantian Continent, that was his dream in this life. He also studied alchemy when he was young, but ......
"Two guests, please wait for a while, the old man will soon handle it for the two guests."
The old man in black walked for a cup of tea and walked in with a young man.
"Two guests."
Duanmu Xi turned around and saw a young man standing next to the old man in black.
When the young man saw Duanmuxi's face, his face was full of amazement. God, did he see a fairy? There is such a beautiful woman in the world...
